WW2 Naval Warfare

United States and Russia

HMAS Canberra was one of four Allied cruisers sunk in the early morning hours of August 9, 1942 in the Battle of Savo Island off Guadalcanal. Although the ship survived the initial battle, the damage received was too great and the ship was scuttled by a torpedo from an American destroyer around 8 AM on the morning of the 9th. Canberra suffered 193 casualties in the battle, including 84 killed or missing in action.

In August 1943, following the failure of the Danes to surrender the Danish Navy to Germany, 31 ships were scuttled by their own Danish crews.

From the word "Unterseeboot", which means undersea boat.

The heavy cruiser USS Salem played the part of the Graf Spee in the film.

S day is the German invation of Britian and how to take out oppersition to Nazis rule in Britian.

$20-$30 if it's in perfect condition. The medals aren't worth much because the US government awarded them to ANYONE who had served ONE or more days of service between 1941-46. That's millions of them.

Expansionism refers to a policy or ideology where a country seeks to increase its territory or influence, often through military conquest or colonization. Aggression involves the use of force or intimidation by one state against another, often violating international norms or laws. Appeasement is a diplomatic strategy where a country concedes to the demands of an aggressor in hopes of maintaining peace, which can sometimes lead to further aggression. Together, these concepts illustrate the dynamics of international relations and the challenges of maintaining stability.

Yes there were wiremen in WW2

pushing the enemy off islands

When Guadalcanal was taken America and its allies prevented Japan from extending its influence across the SW Pacific. This meant Australia could be supplied with munitions and men more easily.

It also created a situation whereby Japan was forced to use up a great part of its naval resources, both ships and aircraft, to try to retake Guadalcanal.

In short; Japan had a relatively small number of high quality pilots, aircraft, and ships, but not enough for a prolonged war over a large area.

I assume that since there was a construction crew on the island there was probably some earth moving equipment such as a dump truck , bulldozer and similar vehicles . The navy and Marines would have had vehicles organic to their organisation such as trucks for general purposes and there would have been an aircraft tug for the moving of airplanes into and out of their revetments .

In 1972, when we were there as a layover MAC Flight from Hakata Airbase in Japan. There were various small POV (personally owned) vehicles there -- as a few American made cars such as the Ford and motorcycles as you can see such as in the photo I have provided the following link for >>

This was taken in April 1972, I believe. If I can find more photos with info I will add it later.

Being only about 2.85 sq. miles, or under 1,900 acres TOTAL for all 3 small islands that make up the 'atoll', I think I recall seeing bicycles there also lol

We almost got left behind as we became absorbed in coral collecting on the beach and lost track of the time :0 the MAC flight was ready to take off and waiting for us...

WWII was histories last:

1. Cruiser fleet actions (Battle of Java Sea)

2. Carrier clashes

3. Battleship vs Battleship clashes (Suriago Strait)

4. Destroyers vs Destroyers (Guadalcanal)

The 5 Sullivan brothers were all lost on the light cruiser USS Juneau during the Guadalcanal Sea Battles.

WWII Enterprise was about 824 feet long. She was the only one of three of her class to survive the war.

John F. Kennedy was commander of PT-109. PT stands for "Patrol Torpedo". These were small wooden craft about eighty feet long, with a twelve man crew. They were very fast. Their main weapon was four torpedo tubes, which gave them the capability of sinking the largest enemy ships. Out on patrol one dark night in 1943 Kennedy's boat was idling and stationary, looking for enemy ships in the Solomon Islands, when it was run over and cut in two by a Japanese destroyer, which was running without lights and appeared suddenly. One of Kennedy's men was killed in the collision and another severely burned. Kennedy led his men in a swim to an uninhabited island and for several night afterward swam out into the ocean hoping to make contact with other patrol boats from his squadron. They were eventually rescued with help from Solomon Islanders and an Australian coast watcher.

Do you mean apart from my dad blowing up the galley? .... check out "A Sailor at War 1939-1945" in the Amazon Kindle Store which gives details of some of the ships misadventures at that time. Omegaman

Negative. Women didn't begin manning warships or warplanes until the 1990s and the 21st century.

If, by "Imperium Neptuni Regis", you are referring to a U.S. Navy "Shellback" Certificate, it would depend entirely on its age and condition. They aren't particularly sought after by anyone other than collectors.

The legacies of the Cold War include the enduring geopolitical tensions between the United States and Russia, as well as the proliferation of nuclear weapons, which continues to shape global security dynamics. Additionally, many regions experienced political upheaval and conflicts fueled by Cold War rivalries, leading to long-lasting instability in places like the Middle East and Latin America. The ideological divide between capitalism and communism has also left a lasting impact on global political and economic systems. Finally, the Cold War's conclusion spurred the expansion of NATO and the European Union, redefining alliances and power structures in the post-Cold War world.
